Premium silicone adhesive polyester tape for high-temperature masking and splicing applications, operating from -60°F to 425°F with chemical resistance and clean removal properties.
3M™ Polyester Tape 8403 is a premium high-temperature masking tape engineered for demanding industrial applications. This translucent green polyester tape features a silicone adhesive that provides exceptional bonding on difficult-to-adhere surfaces, including silicone-coated papers and films. The tape operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -60°F (-50°C) to 425°F (218°C), making it ideal for aerospace, composite bonding, and chemical processing applications. With a thickness of 2.4 mil and dimensions of 24 inches wide by 72 yards long, this professional-grade tape delivers superior durability and clean removal characteristics.
This thick polyester tape is specifically designed for applications requiring both chemical resistance and thermal stability. The silicone adhesive formulation ensures clean, one-piece removal from most surfaces without leaving residue, making it perfect for masking metal surfaces during acid or caustic chemical milling baths. The tape's exceptional flexibility in autoclave conditions and robust construction make it ideal for composite bonding operations where vacuum bags and parts require secure temporary holding. Its translucent green backing provides easy identification for splicing applications, while the chemical-resistant properties protect against anodization and other aggressive environments.
Meeting several aerospace specifications including ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759, this 3M tape represents industrial-grade quality and reliability. The tape's 140% elongation at break provides flexibility without compromising adhesion, while the 46 lb/in tensile strength ensures consistent performance. Supplied as 1 roll per case, this professional masking solution is engineered for industrial and occupational use only, delivering consistent results across aerospace, automotive, electronics, composite manufacturing, and metalworking industries.
